We’ve already known for some time that Ridley Scott is set to direct Monopoly from Universal Pictures. Lately we’ve heard that Ouija is set to be a Pirate’s of the Caribbean type of adventure movie. Still waiting to hear word about the planned Battleship movie.

Now we hear that Etan Cohen (of Tropical Thunder) is set to write, and Kevin Lima (of Enchanted) is set to direct, Candy Land.

Sorry to burst the bubble but the wonderful story that all these game-to-film adaptations have been made before, but in fact all that has happened is that films with these titles have been made before.

None of the films named “Monopoly” have anything to do with the classic boardgame, ditto “Ouija”. There doesn’t seem to be a film called “Battleship(s)”, and the short film “Candyland” from 1935 does not appear to be anything to do with the US boardgame.
